COMMENTS:
Thumbs up:• Roberto (Outside Mexico): Dealing with street vendors, Public transport improvements (mainly introducing new intelligent bus routes).
• John P (Outside Mexico) I met Mayor Ebrard and worked for him when he was the Police Commisioner of Mexico City. I think he is a great man with lots of integrity the people of Mexico City should be proud. If anyone has the ability to make change it is Mayor Ebrard.
• Santiago B (Mexicot City): Human rights promotion - Major infrastructure works (transportation, water) - Fostering tolerance
• Shengliang J (Outside Mexico): 1.Mexico City has become more international. 2.he joined the PRD under Obrador and is able to unify it without Obrador.
• Pablo (Mexico City): Mr. Ebrard's office has made great efforts in putting some order to the chaotic Mexico City. We in Mexico have grown accustomed to living in chaos, where everyone does as he pleases. The current local goverment is trying hard to put a reign on troublesome sectors and bring the city to order.
• Eduardo J A (Mexico City): Marcelo Ebrard is having a good performance as local authority. We must take into account he has a 6 year time period, long enough for getting achievements. As Mexico City's dweller I appreciate two features of his administration I like the most. One, a managing vision as a world class city and not as a rural village. That implies even finding Mexico City in this web page. A concern for attending demands of all people, strategic investments. One must recognize Ebrard's leadership and interlocution skills for governance. I find Ebrard is having in mind a long term vision for the city, besides the short run necessary actions.
• Daniel (Mexico City): Mayor Ebrard has being spending our taxes on social benefit projects for the poor like renewing busses for public transportation, renewing avenues and so on, but schools still being such a secondary interest in local governments.
• Ulises C, Mexico City: Sorting out traffic conflicts and dealing with unlicensed merchants.
• Julio I, Mexico City: Promoting progressive legislation, public infrastructure.
• Jose Miguel G (Mexico City): He continues the rescue of Mexico city's historical center, which was initiated by former mayor López Obrador.
• Simon L (From outside Mexico City): Promoting and using energy efficient vehicles to reduce governments carbon footprint
Thumbs down:• Roberto (Outside Mexico): Security is still the biggest issue, but has to be tackled nationally
• Alejandra D (Mexico City): I'm a native of Mexico City and each time a visit my family (twice a year)in Mexico City, I hate to see my hometown covered with graffitti.....The city govenment does not do a thing to discourage this awful practice. In general my city looks each year worse from the previous year....
• Shengliang J (Outside Mexico): 1 public security problem. 2. economic inequality and polarization. 3. less collaborations with rural Mexico state.
• Pablo (Mexico City): Because of political ideologies, mayor Ebrard has a very poor relationship with the federal goverment, which ultimately hurts the citizens as they cannot work well together.
• Eduardo J A (Mexico City): Making great changes in Mexico City as a whole, including all metropolitan municipalities not belonging to the Federal District ruled by Ebrard, as well as the own Federal District, is as difficult as changing an iceberg trajectory. That is why the long term vision is important but Ebrard is also failing in address some vital long term issues such as keeping the rural zones because of their environmental contribution instead of generating real estate developments. That is an awful mistake related to the power of developers, ecocomic power Ebrard will need for his aspirations for the 2012 national presidential elections, among others. Stop Tlahuac and Milpa Alta destruction!! We need an improved, realistic urban policy not leaded by incompetent architects linked with developers' interest.
• Daniel (Mexico City): He is irrespectful to our Presidential figure. He does not want to talk face to face with the Mexico´s President. Such a crying boy. That´s the last think he needs to do if he want´s to win the respect of the population.
• Cecilia M, Mexico City: Mexico City has very big urban trouble. It´s not easy to solve or manage them. It´s necessary to get everybody´s participation. Nevertheless, Mr. Ebrard hasn´t understood that he can´t make Mexican citizens accept any change made in their city without their approval. It seems that he and his people of the same beliefs make decisions without consulting us. Besides, it´s important to improve and support the infrastructure that Mexico City already has, many of them only work thanks to the responsibility of some public server.
• Ulises C, Mexico City: Mayor Ebrard's constant conflicts with the federal gouverment due to politicals ideologies. Sometimes he gives the impression of being in oppostion rather than in office.
• Julio I, Mexico City: Not solving solid waste disposal and the lack of recycling initiatives
• Jose Miguel G (Mexico City): Un-coordinated road works
• Saul R (Mexico City): Spending public money on his own promotion.
